New Years Resolutions

With this new year, a lot of people are thinking about ways to improve this year. Here is how Toastmasters can help you with your journey this year.

If you want to work on your communication this year, we have several ways to help you. Through our communication program, you can work on spontaneous communication skills, interpersonal skills and public speaking skills. We do Table Topics every Tuesday after listening to speeches, which allows our members to improve their skills on impromptu speaking. At Newport Toastmaster, we understand this can be very scary and uncomfortable, so we try to make this section fun and engaging. We do not judge you, especially for nervousness, and we rejoice in improvement made. Giving speeches can also be nerve wracking, but in our evaluation we always make sure to highlight what we liked best with our tips to help you improve.

Leadership is also a set of skills we work on at Newport Toastmaster. From staying on a schedule, to giving an evaluation, our meetings are perfect to help you work on various leadership skills. Toastmasters leadership track works on a variety of skills to help you grow, including the mentoring project, time management project, and listening skills. As a speech evaluator, one of our meeting roles, you can work on giving feedback and critiquing someone's work. If you are the Toastmaster, you learn to run a meeting on a schedule and how to improvise if there is a problem, or someone is missing. Lastly, if you become an officer, you will gain experience in helping run a club, as well as flexibility, teamwork, and motivation.

What are your goals?
